The Address of Trust in the Global Halal Market: MS 1500:2019 JAKIM Halal Food Certification
Gaining a competitive advantage and offering consumers the highest level of trust in the rapidly growing global halal food market is possible with the right certification standards. The MS 1500:2019 Halal Food Standard, recognised by the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM), is accepted as the "gold standard" in the international arena.
What Is MS 1500:2019?
MS 1500:2019 is a comprehensive Malaysian standard that sets out general guidelines for the production, preparation, handling and storage of food within the framework of Islamic rules. It covers not only religious requirements but also strict food safety, hygiene and quality management systems (GMP and GHP). This standard guarantees that halal integrity is maintained throughout the entire supply chain from farm to fork.
Advantages of JAKIM-Recognised Certification for Your Business
- Access to Global Markets: It opens the doors wide to exports to Southeast Asian (ASEAN) countries, the Middle East and markets with large Muslim populations around the world.
- Consumer Trust: The JAKIM logo is one of the best-known and most trusted symbols for halal consumers worldwide. Certifying your products to this standard instantly raises your brand reputation.
- Integration with Food Safety: MS 1500:2019 works in perfect harmony with international food safety management systems such as HACCP and ISO 22000.
- Risk Management: It offers a systematic approach that minimises the risk of cross-contamination (contact with non-halal substances).
